Ex-Congressman Brady, one Of
The Republican leaders ofYirginia,
was in the Capital a day or two
since. and being at skies and sevens
with little Billy Malone, the Re
publican boss Of that State, Mr..
Brady gently submitted to an inter
view in which he gives some inter
esting information regarding the
political situation in the Old Do
minion. He says that Malone in
his mad desire to make every other
interest subservientto his ambition

ate, has alienated all OF his old I
lieutenants, including such men as
Senator Riddleberger, Ex-Govern-
or Cameron and two Of the Repub- /
Iiean CoRgressmen-eleot-so, that
only listless apathy and egregious
blunders on the part of the Demo
Gratis can secure Mahone's return
TO power from The Mother of Pres
idents.
That piece Of monumental folly
and pet Republican measure, the
Blair Educational Bill, has been
sat upon in the house Of its friends
or what was supposed to be such,
for the Committee on Federal AT
fairs in the new Hampshire House
cf Representatives, by vote of
seven to three, was laid on the ta-
bic resolutions endorsing the bill.
And this from cranky Senator
Blair's own State and party. THAT
was the most unkindest cut Of all"
worse by far than the Democrats
could give.
Secretary Falrchild, few days
since, dismissed a pair of Republi.
can clerks for consuming a portion
of their valuable time during Of
flee hours in abusing the Democrat

well SAYS that he thinks it too goo'
in the Administrator to keep Re

sentiment of the able and popula
young Secretary of the Treasur
will find ready echo in the heart
of thousands Of Democrats, wit
the wish that there we're more Fail
childs in the Cabinet.
Secretary Whitney is pushin
forward with the earnestness an
enthusiasm characteristic of hir
his efforts to re-habilitate Il
American Navy, having ju
awarded the contract for the bull
ing of two gunboats aud three cru
sers, after the most approved d
signs. and with such iron-olad te
as to speed and capacity that fl
compliance with these eonditio
is guaranteed. Another commen
able action of the Secretary is |
continued refusal to furnish a
funds for the repair of rotten bull
like the Monocracy that were
herited from the late Republic
regime.
